Shropshire Seniors looking for players for 2026 campaigns
The 2025 cricket season may only just be coming to a close – but Shropshire’s Seniors sides are already planning ahead for their 2026 campaigns.
Shropshire fields two sides for both Over 50s and Over 50s age groups playing regular competitive cricket against their peers across the country.
Initially the cricket is played on a regional basis but thereafter, assuming the teams qualify for the latter stages, the opposition can be as far afield as Cornwall or Durham.
The Over 60 matches are generally played on a Tuesday, whilst the O50 matches take place usually on a Wednesday. There can be between six and 15 matches a season for each team depending on the success levels.
Shropshire Seniors Chair John Foster said: “Those who take part extol the virtues of regular competitive cricket for the senior age groups and look forward to the continued friendships which team sports generate.
“Players don’t need to have played Minor Counties cricket in the past or indeed Premier League cricket.
“It doesn’t matter what you used to be able to do, what matters is what you can do now. We need players who are fit, mobile and want to commit to playing regular cricket during the week.
“If you have, or know of, any players either at your club or another within the county (or indeed someone who has recently hung up their boots!) who may be interested in taking part next season, please pass get in touch.”
They can contact John or either Loll Woodhall (Over 60s) or Carl Ward (Over 50s) – via the email addresses below.
